debt consolidation loans- what can I do about all my debt?
I have maxed out credit cards and they raised my apr due to a mistake in my payment and it was late, usually i’m on time or early with my payments and always pay the minimal. I’m trying so hard to get out of debt but with my apr raised, i feel like i’m drowning in debt. I have read some info on debt consolidation loans vs. other methods, which is best and what can i do? i probably have really bad credit right now due to the max’d out limits and the "penalty pricing" increase in my apr. I would like to find a way to consolidate debt to lower the rate and possibly lower the payments but i don’t want to get into a situation that will end up leaving more of a scar on my credit report. Can anyone help me out? where do i go from here?

Debt Consolidation Loans and How They Work
Take action to get out of debt
Every day millions of people from all over the world reached the point of no return in regard to personal debt. One of the biggest mistakes people in debt make is doing nothing about it. A lot of people think nothing can be done.
Debt consolidation is a debt management strategy that combines existing debts into a single loan, called a consolidation loan. A lot of debtors get consolidation loans from credit unions or banks. Most consolidation loans have a fixed term, generally 3 to 5 years. While consolidation loans have significant advantages, you should note that new debts that you incur after securing your consolidation loan will not be paid off by your consolidation loan.
A big decision
For many, the decision to secure a consolidation loan is more difficult than securing the loan itself. You have to ask yourself why you should consolidate your debts.
There are a number of reasons to consolidate your debts. However, let’s outline the more significant. Generally, a consolidation loan will lower your total annual percentage rate, or APR. Most consolidation loans also offer fixed APRs. Consolidation loans offer discipline for many debtors because they only have to pay one bill.
Do the math
Securing a debt consolidation loan only makes sense if your new APR will be lower than your existing ones. You shouldn’t get a debt consolidation loan with APR greater than the average APR you already pay.
The average of your existing loans is rather easy to determine. For example, let’s say 5 existing debts, with APRs on each of 12, 15, 14, 16 and 18 percent. The total of these equals 75 percent. Divide that figure by the number of percentage rates, in this case 5, and you get 15 percent. This is your average APR on your existing loans.
Now as you shop for consolidation loans through various lenders, you have a baseline in which to work off of. A consolidation loan with 13 percent APR would be to your advantage, but one at 16 percent would not be.
Hope for those with bad credit
It’s likely that your credit report is not what it once was. However, lenders take into account that your total monthly payment will be reduced significantly, and accommodations for bad credit would be taken into account.
Figuring out where you are in your debt situation is crucial to getting a plan together to get out of it. Consolidation loans work for a lot of people. They do not work for everyone.
